If you get a pod, try make a way to make a cold air intake to have colder air in the box that would be the only way to benifit.

If your just gna run it without the box then your just going to suck hot air so you may aswell stick with the stock box..

Have you considered a higher flowing panel filter??

I use to have a stock air box in my old prelude and i chucked a k&N panel filter in there and the sound was tons louder and at the end of the day, less rooting around , legal and louder :) win win win

The only reason I would go to a pod is because the cooler piping is getting in the way then you need a custom box to cover the pod from heat soak. Otherwise next to no advantage you will hear induction noise with a panel filter.

For performance get a good panel filter and CAI, for hecktic awesome defects get a pod, if you get a pod and box/cover ensure you still use a CAI or you will lose any benefits because air to the intake will take the path of least resistance which will he hot air from the engine getting in around the cover.

Only reason I have a pod/cover/CAI is due to intake mods that make nothing else fit.

I know People say that, but im telling you straight out comparing my old VTIR Prelude from a stock panel to a K&N it was a noticeable difference in a nice way.

POD's are pretty pointless i mean whats the point of the hassel by cops on your p plates for pretty much no gains

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
